Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coriander and brettanomyces as well as light notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of orange peal and medium notes of malt, leading to a dry and tart finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a dense, white and lacing head. Lightly tart Brett nose with a lactic touch. Light body with a heavy carbonation, a citrusy tartness and an oaky touch. Again a whiff of Brett. Dry and slightly astringent finish. Very refreshing. A unique idea to oak age a Belgian Wit, but quite surprisingly it works! 010209
